Out with Marg Helgenberger, in with Elisabeth Shue.
The casting shift in long-running TV franchise CSI happens in January 2012.
Elisabeth Shue is confirmed as a series regular, described as a CSI who just completed anger management training. She appear in the Feb. 15 episode.
“While it’s difficult to say goodbye to a beloved character like Catherine Willows, it’s exciting to start a journey with a new CSI, especially when that character is played by Elisabeth Shue,” said executive producer Carol Mendelsohn in a statement. “The new CSI also struggles with brutal honesty issues and suffers no fools.”
“Elisabeth’s character will share a past, in another crime lab, with Ted Danson’s character [D.B. Russell],” added executive producer Don McGill in a statement. “The first time things didn’t go so well between the two of them. Maybe the second time’s the charm, or not.”
Shue is currently filming Of Men And Mavericks with Gerard Butler.
